[vox-tech] Apt Problem

[Bob Scofield]

I've got a problem with apt dist-upgrade.

It started when I accidentally installed apache.  I then removed apache, which 
was a mistake.  I've since re-installed and re-removed apache but can't fix 
the problem.  Here's the problem.

When I do "apt dist-upgrade" I get this error message:

"dpkg: apache2-common: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you 
request:
 apache2-mpm-prefork depends on apache2-common (= 2.0.55-4.1).
(Reading database ... 117542 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing apache2-common ...
Stopping apache 2.0 web server...Syntax error on line 1 
of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php4.load:

 failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing apache2-common (--remove):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 apache2-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Here's why this is a serious problem.  If I have other non-apache packages to 
upgrade, they will not upgrade after apt quits because of the apache problem.  
So the apache problem is bigger than it looks.

Thank you for any help you can give me.
